New York Comic Con this past weekend was a flurry of fun, education, great moments in comics, and plenty of excitement and enthusiasm. Both the programming and events at the show were strong, and as always it was terrific to hear the news that gets announced at events like these. If you missed the show, I will share that it is a lot like San Diego Comic Con, but at the same time it has its own unique flair. What I love is that the focus of the show is much more on comics themselves. While Hollywood, videogames, toys, and the other fringes of the community most definitely have a presence there, it seems that presence is somehow muted, making comics, manga and graphic novels the real stars.

As I write this, it finally feels like fall here in New York City. No more summer, no more humidity, no more extreme heat, and I couldn't be happier. Fall is a happy time for me. As we move into the home stretch of 2011, it is such an exciting time to talk about comics.
